Swiss 6 Tune Cylinder Music Box by F. Conchon
This exquisite 11-inch Swiss cylinder music box was crafted by F. Conchon of Geneva and dates to the late 1800s. This masterful music machine plays six delightful tunes and is powered by double spring barrels for extended playtime. The music box is equipped with a zither attachment and tempo control, allowing the listener to fine-tune the pace and add a harp-like resonance to the melodies. An engraved tune indicator and selector adds sophistication and allows listeners to enjoy the song in whatever sequence they wish. Encased in a beautifully preserved burl walnut case, the box is adorned with boxwood inlays and refined ebony trim, exemplifying the fine artistry of Swiss craftsmanship from the late 19th century. It is a superb addition for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
